US Education Department discovers calculation error in 4 million student aid applications, causing potential delays.
The US Education Department found a calculation error in hundreds of thousands of student aid applications sent to colleges, causing potential delays to this year's college applications. The error, which follows a series of other issues, affects a backlog of over 4 million financial aid applications. However, the department states that the error won't impact 1.3 million applications that were correctly processed and distributed to colleges this month. Officials have fixed the error and claim it "will not affect future records."
